Answer:

AC Problems : Incurred even at 0 output level, much varying & deviant from cash flows

VC Problems : Doesn't include fixed cost, incomplete expenditure, incomplete financial (accounting) statements.

Explanation:

Average Cost is the cost per unit off output.

Problems with AC as a performance measure :

  • It includes all (fixed & variable cost) average. So, including fixed cost, it is not zero even at zero output level.
  • It's variance analysis during production & cost phases is very complicated.
  • It's result are deviant as evident from cash flows.

Variable Cost is the cost incurred on variable factors of production.

Problems with VC as a performance measure :

  • It doesn't include fixed cost. So, it is not a correct measure of complete total expenditure.
  • Fixed costs are huge. No financial inclusion of them makes accounting information unreliable (for legal purposes)

leva [86]

Answer:

PART-1  

How should each instrument be changed if the Fed wishes to decrease the money supply?

The Fed would deportment open-market sales, increase the discount rate, and raise interest paid on reserves.

PART-2)  

Will the change affect the monetary base and/or the money multiplier?

IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

The answer is: D) $32,000

Explanation:

In 20x3, Cris. Co. paid in cash $68,000 for interest, including $15,000 of interest from 20x2.

The amount of cash paid for 20x3 interests = $68,000 - $15,000 = $53,000

Interest payable = interest expense 20x3 - cash paid for 20x3 interests

interest payable = $85,000 - $53,000 = $32,000
